That is a wild design, i love the possibilities with acrylic tanksHere are some in production pics of a 240 gallon corner Pentagon, one of my all time favorite tanks. Notice the single piece back wall panel, bent at the 90.
Four feet of front panel viewing
This is the bent corner detail
Flawless seams
1/2 Lifegard slip/slip for all 3 returns. Looking at this for return pump. https://a.co/d/5hYPw6K
LOL, I have and did. I am actually testing their 120g skimmer that just came today. Way quieter than my Reef Octopus 150 and easier to adjust too.
Did you end up going with 9” height, or sticking with 7”?It will be as shown below with a couple minor changes. The "solid" wall is an oversight. It had slots there before but it should be, and will be. solid. This is a simple design for a simple setup.

Can you elaborate the logic in flow?The baffles will be factory notched so that they will field assemble as shown below. Two green, one red. They can be glued together (recommended) but importantly, not glued to the sump pedestal itself. That way, the baffle assembly can be removed for cleaning/maintenance if required. Crayola drawings further explain the concept. One interesting thing to note is that the tank bottom is clear. With no substrate, you will have some light shine down into the sump area. Should make for some interesting flora and fauna. This will be a very stable environment. Adding rubble to one or more of the chambers is also an option. Thoughts?
Thanks for the sketchups. You do nice work. See below for more details. There will be three baffle/support panels. Two of them going side to side the other as the center partition. They all will be factory notched for easy assembly. The assembly can be glued up if preferred. Or not. The assembly will fit so that the center partition touches the inside front wall of the sump. This will position it exactly so that the rear baffle lines up with the rear bottom edge of the tank. No guesswork. Leaving the three baffle assembly loose and not glued to the sump will allow easy disassembly for maintenance and cleaning.Can you elaborate the logic in flow?
However, the new proposal with 3 pieces as sketched with slots and a window doesn't allow water flow from chamber 2 to 3 with a solid center that seems to be 11"?
Is there a new mockup or crayon sketch of final shipping next week?
From the original sump concept / mockup with a shorter center piece and 4 solid support/dividers I've been playing with a layout. Aware there are many ways to set up a sump. Each their own.
Would think a shorter center like mockup which looked to be ~8" and 4 individual pieces (now a solid, 2 slotted, 1 window = 5 pieces) would make for more customizable layouts. Possibly at minimum go back to a shorter 6-8" center, one end piece solid and window and 2 slotted pieces = 4 pieces. ???
Thanks for the kind words and clarification on the kit dividers shipping out.Thanks for the sketchups. You do nice work. See below for more details. There will be three baffle/support panels.

There will be a little surprise in the sump pedestal kits. Hope everyone likes it.
I've emailed [email protected] and Michelle told me there are no instructions for the frag tank.
The only instructions that I know of are on post #18 of this thread.
There are instructions. She was not aware they were uploaded. Michelle works mostly with custom tanks and not aware of this program. I will post a set again. you should have gotten a download link for the instructions at checkout. At any rate, please see the next post.
Very nice work. My compliments. Please see the next post.Think this came out well. I intend to put a full build thread together soon.
